Names -> Cool Band Names -> G, Page 3
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.

| The Grease Monkeys | Another name for a mechainc, also works as a play on The Monkees. | Henry | ||
| Grease The Priest | I was trying to think of a blasphemous band name that was funny and this is what I came up with. Also refers to masturbation. Heh. | Jon III | ||
| The Great Billy Boydson Murder | jacksonu4ia | |||
| Great Circle | This just would look cool on a set of drums. It was some math term that my teacher told me, and my friend Thomas said "Y'know, that'd be a pretty cool band name." So, credit goes to him. | Jericho | ||
| Great Expectations | We're starting a band-ish thing and trying to think of a name. I was looking at my book shelf and saw the book (by Charles Dickens) and it stuck. Nobody else liked it though. | blah | ||
| Great Gobs Of Goose Grease | This was the exclamation my grade school teacher made whenever she was aghast. Like the time she told me to throw away my "gum" and she discovered I was chewing a wad of paper from my folder. | kid | ||
| Greater Than or Equal to Jim | Because Less Than Jake just sounds so condescending. And my name is Jim. | Jim Hat | ||
| The Green Chair | I have a green chair I sit in on every performance. thats about it, I like it and so do the record companies | Chris | ||

| Green Light | I was looking at this green light on my computer, and it just came to me........DUDE!!! | BRYN (no not the real world one) | ||
| Green Stomach Monkey | This actually came from a David Letterman show where he had three dice. Each having different words on them. He would roll them and put the words together to make a name for a band. This was the only one I remember from years ago. | Rocky | ||
| Green Toenail | Spilled guacamole on my foot. Didn"t wipe it off and grossed out friends an hour later, who thought it was infected. | Mat | ||
| Greene | Because I like it and it's spelled as some one's name and not the color. Even though some people do have the last name Green as well. I think it works as a good anouncement, like " Ladies & Gentalmen here is... GREENE!" | Joe Hobeaux | ||
| greethoeven | my dog's name is greta but we call her all kinds of things like greethoeven (like ludwig van beethoven the composer), hooten-hoeten, etc. sounds like a great band name, especially if you are dutch. | queen of the harpies | ||
| Grey Flamingo | When flamingos are depressed, they don't eat shrimp which is i think what makes then pink. Whithout shrimp they revert to there natural color: grey. The flamingo's natural and depressed state are the same. The relations to the human condition basically think themsleves up. Great emo band name! | Call me Kielty | ||
| Grey Skyy | It's different and kinda emo, if you would like that. I am starting one called it. I came up with it while thinking black. Well, grey is like black, so there you go. :-D | Ranemannnn | ||
| Greyscale | Perfect name for a goth/emo/indie band because it's got their favorite colour; grey. And also scale - musical connection right there. | Anon | ||
| Grievous Errors | I had this really weird history teacher in junior high who always said that things were "grievous errors..." we never knew what he was talking about...this'd be a good name for some funky rock group. | amanda | ||
| Grilled Cheese Aspiration | Taken from "The Sims 2: Nightlife". | therealdeepblue | ||
| Gringo Fare | This came from a Mexican restaurant menu... the section listing American, or "gringo" foods, like cheesburgers. | LL | ||
| Grinning Evil | I inspired the name off of those old 70s smiley-face posters that say "Have a nice day". I created a character out of that called Mr. Smiley, a smiley-face that has long hair, a human body, a sicko grin(many teeth), and is a metalhead. From this, I created the band name "Grinning Evil" because Mr. Smiley is an evil bastard. After that, I made Mr. Smiley the mascot of the band. Sounds like a great metal band, eh? | ironman | ||
| Griswald Splicers | ummm... its the old thing they used to make movies out of... where they would take film cut it, and splice in the new film. for editing.....It's really big and takes up the whole room.

| Gross Genitalia & The Penetrators | group of us at school (a long, long time ago) came up with daft names for groups but this has to be the winner!! | Heavy Mental | ||
| Gross Quarters | You know how you'll put change in cupholders of your car? Well I did that and spilled some soda on the change, which was primarily quarters, and I picked one of them up, threw it, and said, "That was a gross quarter!" | Elizabeth | ||
| Ground Lava | Remember playing "The Ground Is Lava" as a kid? This name is a tribute to that. | Hawk | ||

| Growling Ferret | Just visualize a growling ferret! It's hilarious! The cover of the CD would have this demented rodent on it: excellent! | Unicorn | ||

| Grumpéd Lüngeinch | Sitting around trying to come up with a name can be hard. Stumped for names i asked some of my friends for different things; a color, an adjective, a verb, a noun. I got Green, elongated, jump, and bench. Mashing these together and adding accents and umlauts lead to this band name. | Gabriel | ||
| Grupp SEX | In Swedish, number 6 is spelled, S-E-X. "Grupp" means group,gang, mob or team. Grupp SEX is like have a group with 6 members. But Grupp SEX also means (what it sounds like) in Swedish. | Jonathan | ||
| Guarantee | Guarantee....a black r&b group. KInd of like TLC or Blaque! Several young black women are guarantee-ing that they are going to be something someday! They guarantee their success! | Pigertaws | ||
| Guarda Le Fe | Meaning "Keep the Faith" in Spanish, it would be an awesome name for a Christian Rock Band. There are many Christian Rock Bands out there whose names have subtle origins in Christianity itself (EX. Casting Crowns) that "Keep The Faith" would be perfect. | swb1003 | ||
| Guardians of Darkness | When me and my fiance got together, I used to call him my dark angel, he called me his dark fairy. He is my guardian and we are of the darkness. | Fairy of the Darkness | ||

| The Guilty Parties | I came up with it one day while i was watching CourtTV....Enough said | Jorge | ||
| The Guise | The dictionary classifies the term "guise" as being of that of a hidden personna. To be withdrawn socially. It would work out great for a band who idles bands like Slipknot or Mushroom Head. One who is willing to wear a mask up on stage. Cuz you would then be indisguised. | hahanincumpoop | ||
| Guitar Burn | Similar to rug burn. Generally affects the fore-arm area. Some specialists attribute it to sweat, friction and intense rocking. | pop_tart | ||
| Guitarded | Somebody used this in their signature on FF.Net as an answer to the riddle/question "What do you call a broken guitar?" I figure it could work for a guitar-based band that sucks on purpose. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Gung Ho | firends were starting a "punk band"...you know, like New Found Glory? LOLOLOLOL anyway....we were going threw a list of ideas...i said that, and i think that might be what they're going with. Wished i hadn't said it, maybe a decent band coulda used it ; ) | Danny | ||
| Gung-Ho | Uncritically patriotic, zealous, devoted or belligerent, from the Chinese 'ken- ho' meaning awe-inspiring or literally 'more fiery'. | Jona | ||

| Guns Beat Knives | We were in the park one day and my mate was being a smart aleck. He found some guy sleeping in a ute. My mate picked up a stick and pretended it was a gun and snuck over to the ute. As he was sneaking up, the bloke in the ute saw him and threatened him with a knife. My mate with his stick pointing at the bloke shouted "Guns beat knives," and ran away. I think the phrase sounds cool for a band name. | owen | ||
| Gunstar Heroes | hey this was an old game for the nintendo...i would use it if i had a a band | uhhhhh i forgot | ||
| Guruguru Tea Party | "Guruguru" is the sound spinning is supposedly supposed to make. I liked the idea of, "Spinning Tea Party", but it sounds too dull by itself. | Jenn and Samu | ||
| Gutter Chicken And The Fortunate | Well think about it...a chicken lying in the gutter and some rich guy with money ? Dont ask me how i came up with it ...i just did | Lord Bailey | ||
| The Gutter Punks | It's the name of a bowling team- from a CD by Me First and the Gimme Gimme's, but I think it would be a pretty cool name for a band. | burt | ||
| Guy Dance | A play on the word "guidance", which I considered using as a disc jockey name until some people said it sounded too "gay". | Guy | ||
| Guy Smiley | It's a character from "Sesame Street". | Dave | ||
| Gym Socks | This name is cool just because you can spell it wrong in so many ways (Jim, Jym, Sox, etc.). Also if you really hated the band you could say "Hey! Those Gym Socks stink!" except that your friends would make fun of you for such a lame joke. | Knumb Prodigy | ||
| Gynormica | Its like gigantic, enormias, and a "ica" at the end for style. Kinda like Metallica. But a little different in some ways. Overall, its just a little like Metallica. | AJ of the WB |
